The HMC218MS8 is a passive double-balanced mixer manufactured by Hittite Microwave Corporation. This GaAs MMIC mixer is designed for upconverter and downconverter applications, offering a frequency range of 4.5-6 GHz for RF and LO signals, and DC-1.6 GHz for the IF.
Key electrical specifications include a low conversion loss of typically 6.5 dB and high LO to RF isolation up to 30 dB. The mixer also provides an input IP3 of up to +18 dBm and 1 dB compression point of up to 10 dBm. These characteristics make it suitable for various Rx and Tx frequency plans.
The HMC218MS8 is housed in an 8-lead MSOP surface mount package. Its design utilizes GaAs Schottky diodes and novel planar transformer baluns, enabling its use as a phase modulator, demodulator, or phase comparator in addition to its primary mixing functions.
Typical applications for the HMC218MS8 include basestations, repeaters, access points, WiMAX, WiBro, fixed wireless systems, portables, subscribers, PLMR, public safety, and telematics.

The HMC218MS8 is packaged in an MSOP (Mini Small Outline Package) and is designed for surface-mount assembly.
The RF and LO frequency range is 4.5-6.0 GHz when driven with a +13 dBm LO signal, with a slightly reduced range of 4.7-5.9 GHz at +7 dBm LO drive.
The IF frequency range is DC to 1.6 GHz for LO drive levels of +13 dBm and +10 dBm, and DC to 1.5 GHz at +7 dBm LO drive.
Typical conversion loss is 8.5 dB at +13 dBm LO drive and 9.5 dB at both +10 dBm and +7 dBm LO drive.
Typical LO-to-RF isolation is 30 dB at +13 dBm and +10 dBm LO drive, and 28 dB at +7 dBm LO drive.
Input IP3 is 15 dBm typical at 5.2 GHz and 18 dBm typical at 5.8 GHz when driven with +13 dBm LO.
The input 1 dB compression point is 10 dBm typical at +13 dBm LO drive, 9 dBm typical at +10 dBm LO drive, and 7 dBm typical at +7 dBm LO drive.
